Well I love the way the mustang flies, but my eflite apprentice has literally NEVER failed me. Except for the one time the ESC messed up but I just put in a spare 40a I had and she has never given me a word of trouble ever since. All she needs is for me to plug in the battery and she can be handlaunched (done many times) or she will take off from the ground. I upgraded the wheels to du bro 2 1/4 inch wheels on the back and 2 1/2 on the front. It has been through STOL to grass, dirt and gravel runways, 20+ mph winds, 5 or so crashes, and rough handling. Just recently replaced the prop, it was getting a little scuffed up because it was the 1st and only prop that plane had ever had.

Sounds like you like scale/sport flying... but also like a little speed as well. Maybe you should get something big, or scale and balsa? Sounds like 3D isn't where it's at for you IMHO. But yes to gliders, they fly VERY smoothly.

Yea. That's why I think a bixler and a DLG would be good because the Bixler is quick and reliable (from what I have heard) and the DLG is smooth and relaxing.

Traxxas Slash 4x4 (rear axle)
Excede RC blur 1/16 nitro (clutch)
The Excede is real crap, I burnt out two clutches in as many runs. And the clutch is always out of stock.
Slash is a lot better, but I like to run it hard

Don't get a Bixler, it would be too easy for you. Try a scale model, or something big (like 70''+) for real scale flying. That Beaver that Alex built was about 80'' in wingspan and probably cost him less than what you would pay for a 300X....

DLG is amazing. I'll be sure to report back once I've flown the Binary as well - with the correct setup this time. It literally feels 1/3 as heavy as my last build.. which is a good thing!

Ah, the Slash 4x4 eh? Velineon power? I used to be a big Traxxas fan, had a 1/16 E-Revo VXL at one point. Wrote up an entire FAQ on it as well. Are you (were you) on the Traxxas forums?
